The Dal Lake is a famous lake in Srinagar, capital of the state Jammu & Kashmir. It is well known for its approximately 500 Victorian-era wooden houseboats. The lake is surrounded by mountains on its three sides. Romantic rides are offered in Shikaras(boats) just like the Gondolas in Venice. In 2007, we stayed in a houseboat for 4 nights and had a lovely time. All the vendors come to you in small boats to sell their goods. We had our own cook giving us homemade meals. Weather was sunny and cool and the people were so friendly and welcoming.
